Founder Monica Kirchner on Bloomberg — Watch .Luxury

.CEO co-founder talks .luxury and fresh domain names on Bloomberg TV.

Monica Kirchner, co-founder and CEO of Dot Luxury, was on Bloomberg TV this stretch talking regarding .Luxury and fresh top level domain names in general.

It’s really hard talking regarding top level domain names to an audience that’s never even heard of ICANN, and I think she does a pretty good job.

Kirchner states the firm has by now sold over 1,200 domain names. Although modest compared to other TLDs, the registry is charging $400 for post-sunrise domain name registrations. Registrars are marking this up to regarding $800/year. (This is for all domains, not just “premiums”.)

Kirchner also mentions a firm that has rebranded to a .luxury domain name.
